The X2R
Two Seats - All Race
After 12 years of success with the Barracuda and X2 in and out of racing, it’s time to step our 2-seater up to a full racing specification. The X2R brings the best of the Barracuda design and X2 layout to the top-level racing stage with a fully race-compliant tubular chassis.
The X2R chassis has been designed to comply with CAMS Prolite and Super 1650 regulations (AASA Class 1 & Class 10). With a 200hp+ motorcycle engine and a 630kg race weight the X2R has a power-to-weight ratio that most car-engined buggies can only dream of.
But the X2R does more than just tick a scrutineering box. There’s more driver room to accommodate the extra cockpit fitout in a racing vehicle, including a Wilwood brake pedal box (and electric power steering as standard). Front suspension travel is increased and larger 2.5” coilover shock absorbers can be mounted.
All four wheels are fitted with 4-piston Wilwood calipers grabbing 312mm floating brake rotors to give outstanding braking performance over any terrain. A bigger engine bay gives builders the flexibility needed for upgraded racing motors and the accessories that come with them. That extra horsepower is easily handled by the CV2 rear suspension drivetrain: proven as a bomb-proof drive unit in harsh racing conditions and including track rods to ride out the biggest impacts racing can throw at it. The upgraded full-width 65 liter (17 gallon) fuel tank lets the X2R cover long-course off road races and features a racing filler cap to allow quick refuelling. Finally, 30” 4WD-spec tyres ensure maximum traction over the roughest terrain and give the X2R the long legs needed to compete over high speed cross-country racing tracks.
Over the years Edge Products have produced a number of race-compliant vehicles, and it’s about time Edge customers were able to take advantage of our racing vehicle experience with a weapon that can compete at the highest level of off road motorsport.
